Brad, 1. If you have an external ground plane make sure that you have the "Lock All Pre-routes" checked. 2. If you have an internal ground plane, did you tie the plane to your ground net in the layer stack manager?

I have a GND plane and all of the components are connected to it via thermals. However, when ever I use the AutoRouter the program begins routing GND traces. I have created classes that have all the signals and trace widths associated with them but this did not help. I have disabled the system board routing layer and only enabled mine. But again that did not help. How do I stop Protel from routing GND traces when I have a GND layer that the components are already connected too?
